Ratio Groups Minimum Seed Time

[Retalak]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

It can be slightly annoying when torrents reach their ratio requirement extremely quickly (like when they first release and you are among the first to seed) and the action is triggered before other programs are able to do what they need to do with the torrent.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be very nice to see the time column in ratio groups split into a min and max. So, regardless of what else is set, the action will not trigger until the minimum time has been reached - unless it is disabled with -1. The max would function much like the current time column does, where once that time is reached, the action will be triggered regardless of the other columns.

This would enable making sure that torrents seed for, lets say, a day before the action is triggered even if the other values have been met. This has the added benefit of increasing your upload ratio by holding onto hot torrents for longer when they reach your regular ratio requirement before the minimum time limit.

Additional context

Furthermore, it seems like even the auto unpack feature can be affected by this. I have noticed that torrents that reach the ratio rules too quickly will not be unpacked. For context, I have my default rule set to 120% and 350 hours - at which point it will mark it as finished. If this happens too quickly (could possibly be satisfied BEFORE the torrent is even completely downloaded!), it seems like the torrent does not get unpacked as it is supposed to.

+1 from me for this idea.
Because currently there is not much space left in this window and probably the whole window will need to be rearranged. Maybe it would be a good idea to add configuration option in the plugins/ratio/conf.php file instead.

Workaround for now
Changing "$checkTimesInterval" in "plugins/ratio/conf.php" to a higher value helps keep torrents active longer. I usually change it to 60 minutes. This option should be set to 60 minutes by default, 15 is way too often.
